The exception text was a nod to the parents who commit the time to help their kids sell stuff for school or scouting. I have a heartā¦just a little tired of āIām part of a program that sells magazine subscriptions that will haunt you for the rest of your life,ā sold buy teenagers that are pushy or impolite.
Excellent! I need one of these and your wording is much better that my wife-vetoed āexcept for Girl Scoutsā proposed language.
Iām trying to follow your process, but stumbling when visualizing the last step. Iām missing something important here, but honestly canāt figure out whatās getting painted blackā¦ Whatās the material (looks like black acrylic)?
it was clear acrylic. The text is engraved onto the back, and I paint white with the backing still applied. After the paint dries a bit, pull the backing, then spray paint the back with a black paint. as long as the white (in the engraved portions) has set up a bit, it shouldnāt run together.
It looks great! I wouldnāt waste it; Iād just paint black over the āg.ā Or maybe you can pick out the paint with a toothpick or pin, then fill in the letter with acrylic glue.
Better to make a small mistake on a little sign than be the sign painter painting one of those huge road signs for a small shop selling Cypress knees and other gimmicks to the tourists and in 15 foot high letters where everyone driving through the Florida Keys would see it
